🤖 Conclusion [95/100]: The statement is overwhelmingly true. Multiple reputable sources confirm that massive military equipment, including Abrams tanks and Bradley Fighting Vehicles, has arrived (or is en route) in Washington, DC for a large-scale Army parade marking the Army's 250th anniversary, scheduled for June 14, which also coincides with Donald Trump's birthday. The parade is indeed associated with Trump: he is set to attend and speak, with the event framed as a significant and historic celebration. There is only one claim marked as 'rejected,' but it appears to reference a detail about Trump speaking rather than disputing the event or the arrival of equipment. All other sources strongly support the veracity of the statement.
